just smile.

a smile is a curve that sets everything straight.

i knew a girl, she was kind of overweight too, she was a staff back at my college, and when she sat there behind the front receptionist desk in my campus, her smile in the morning just made my day…

Yeah smile and confidence makes anybody look good :)

hey. i am 14 and i am big too, only difference is idc. :)
i DO wear make up though. you might want to consider just like a foundation because it makes your skin look better, but if you do that remember to wash your face before you go to sleep (which you should already… but just in case :D ) and i have side bangs, and everyone says they look really good on me. & i like them. i wear bigger clothes, but still really pretty clothes. nothing tight, but not like baggy. i wear a jacket with everything (dont do that. its a self confidence issue) i straighten my hair, and most of all. i SMILE. i smile at everyone, as they said above me, it really just makes you look prettier. who wants unhappy girl? always ALWAYS ALWAYS be yourself. you wont be happy unless you are. i AM me. i never change for anyone. someone says something mean or hurtful, i saw thanks and walk away. :) dont let people get you down, and just be happy being you! and if you dont want to wear make up at all, then dont. if you want to wear freakin sweats, wear them. :D there is my advice, and i am your age and also bigger. :D

haha sorry. i know that was a lot. :D

I have been a big girl since age 12 . i am now 39 so i need to get you to realise that you can have fun with anything in style just do it your own way as long as your way is always classy. skinny girls are trendy and big girls are classy. hear are the rules i live by when it comes to fashions. you can’t go wrong with basic black, it is always slimming. if you do wear color always wear it on the top with the exact same color on bottom or a darker color on bottom. I only wear white on bottom if it is required. never by choice.take a picture of your butt in white pants if you have to.never wear cloths too small. never wear horazontal stipes, and i mean never. up and down stripes are okay, and sometimes good. try to choose long shirts and don’t tuck it in. other than that you just have to know what fashions are suited for your body and what ones to skip over. look in the mirror often, know your bodys shape and really accept it and yourself. every one has a beauty about them nomatter what size you are . always have pride in yourself. and keep up good hygene and keep kleen . and you go girl…

hahahahah! yeah i’m always myself. i’m crazy and i don’t care who sees. i do my own thing and if others don’t like it, hey they don’t have to join in. sometimes i wear makeup, on special occasions, like fancy dinners or parties and stuff, but if i’m just going out with my family or my friends, eh screw that, hahah! but i keep my face clean anyway so i don’t really need to wear foundation. except i have black heads! bah! i can’t get rid of them, no matter how hard i try. but they’re okay…you can’t see unless you look REALLY close. and i wear a jacket all the time too. i love my hoodies. it makes me feel warm and secure and safe :D OH! HAH! i wear sweats everywhere. i love pajama-type clothes. if i’m just walking around town with my friends, blah, screw looking nice. jeans aren’t comfy enough for that. but i doooooo have a question! where do you shop? one thing that REALLY bugs me is when girls who are big either just wear clothes that are WAY too small or too tight or clothes that are like…grandma clothes. i mean yeah…i wear my striped yellow panda pants and flipflops everywhere…but jeeeez..i wouldn’t resort to dressing like a grandma! D: hahahah

Try when you’re short, too. It’s really just trial and error. And one tip… buy the clothes, bring them home, try them on, and return the ones you don’t like.

I’m overweight too but always make sure to look my best. as far as a hair style go…I think for the most part longer hair looks good on big girls…but you should really try a haircut that looks good with your face SHAPE. there are always articles in beuty mags about that kind of thing…or one of my fave websites is www.totalbeauty.com They always have loads of beauty tips like that. And I would def suggest wearing makeup. and you’re right, if you have good skin you don’t need foundation. but some blush and a little mascara will do wonders! just try it! as far as clothes…old navy, gap, american eagle, aeropostale all have extended sizes online. I’m over 300 ponds and that’s where I buy my clothes.

p.s.-don’t wear sweats it’s public. just like george from seinfeld says…it just says to to world “I’ve given up!’

I’m a big girl and ialways look for clothes that really fit great. i follow the basic fashion rules of no horizontal stripes, no skinny fit jeans, stiff like that. ilove love LOVE bootcut jeans because i have alot of weight on my things but not my calves and the jeans balance me out. Other than that i am meticulous about my hygiene and keep my teeth white and my breath fresh and my deodorant applied ;)
